入选标准
- •Participant must be at least
- •Clinical diagnosis of glaucoma, with Humphrey Visual Field 24-2 mean deviation (MD) between -22 dB and -5 dB, and Visual Field Index (VFI) between 10% and 90%. The visual field test at screening must meet the following reliability indices:
- •Fixation losses (FL) ≤ 33%
- •False-negative rate (FNR) ≤ 20%
- •False-positive rate (FPR) ≤ 20% At initial screening, the difference in MD between two consecutive visual field tests must be less than 2 dB.
- •Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 0.2 in the worse eye selected for stimulation treatment.
- •If a participant has two eyes meeting study criteria, one eye will be randomly selected by computer for study participation.
- •In the opinion of the investigator the participant's eye pressure must be clinically stable.
- •Participant must has the ability to comply with the requirements of the study and complete the schedule of events.
- •Participant must understand and sign the informed consent. If the participant's vision is impaired to the point where he/she cannot read the informed consent document, the document will be read to the participant in its entirety.
- •Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging shows measurable changes in either peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness or macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness.
排除标准

- •Pathological nystagmus.
- •Retinal disease sufficient to affect vision.
- •Corneal opacity affecting vision.
- •Cataract affecting vision.
- •Uveitis or other intraocular inflammatory disease.
- •Implanted electronic devices such as a pacemaker.
- •Rheumatologic or autoimmune disease.
- •Brain tumor or intracranial magnetic metallic implants.
- •History of epilepsy.
- •Periocular skin lesions.
- •Anxiety with Geriatric Anxiety Scale score >
- •History of claustrophobia.
- •Participation in another clinical trial within the past 3 months involving medication or training that could affect the eyes.
- •Physical or mental conditions that may increase the risk of participation or interfere with study assessments (e.g., dementia).
- •Previous ocular electrical stimulation treatment or visual training study within the past 12 months.
- •Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes.
- •Pregnant or breastfeeding.
- •History of craniotomy, burr hole surgery, head trauma, intracranial tumor, vascular malformation, or intracranial surgery.
